Thursday, June 13, 2019
DENVER -- With Pride Month being in full swing, what better time to celebrate the love of a pair of same-sex flamingos at the Denver Zoo.
The flamingos are named after two LGBTQ icons- N-Sync band member, Lance Bass and Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury, CNN reports.
Lance is a Chilean flamingo and Freddie is an America flamingo.
The zoo tweeted Tuesday, that the two birds have been a pair for several years.
The two love birds can't have a chick of their own, but zookeepers said the birds could step in as surrogate parents if a breeding pair is unable to raise their chick.
